If you're a fan of dogs, or really beautiful fast cars, or the sport of racing, or just a fan of great books about life, then you should read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Seattle author Garth Stein. One of my friends who lives in the Emerald city said that he actually came to their book club to discuss the book with them. One of the things she passed along to me was that he kept getting feedback from publishers that it shouldn't be written in the voice of the dog. That's exactly what makes this book so wonderful. As humans, having lost a lot of our primal instincts, it would have been much more in the head, instead of in the heart. You'll love Enzo. Great book. Fast read. Enjoy!
